| JOgged a 10K with a friend who is very sick, and therefore doesn't run very fast right now. I think I was DFL! I had guests from out of town who were here to take a yoga workshop, which we all took together. A two and a half yoga marathon!

| A quick run before yoga! Just time for 50 minutes, with a few tempo intervals built in there, just to test the speed muscles. It is time for speed again! Enough long slow hours! |

| Not much time for running! We left before light to drive up to Whistler BC, for a couple of days of skiing to celebrate DDs birthday. A quick run while everyone else had breakfast, and then we hit the slopes for the day. |

| Tempo run in the morning, followed by yoga. As soon as I got home, my son, who is home for the Christmas break, suggested a moonlight ski hike out onto table mountain to see the full moon. That made me realize that not only was it a full moon, it was the lunar eclipse! So of course, the whole family had to rush up to the cabin and have some dinner, pack up tents and sleeping bags and stuff, and hike up the mountain on skis to set up camp under the full moon. The eclipse was best around 5:30 in the morning, so we just woke up early and saw it! It was a beautiful, clear and cold night, and the eclipse was nearly full where we are. I think we would have had to be about 100 miles North to see it totally full. I love family adventures like this. | |

| 200m hill repeats and then 200m track repeats. Paces are right on, but I am tired afterwards. Too long since I did a track workout! | |

| Four hours of skate skiing with a friend just North of Vancouver. Cypress Mountain has beautiful trails, and they are all open! Even the upper, more challenging trails are open, and we had a blast! |

| Track workout with lots of R and I paced intervals. My favorite! WU, with jogging and dynamic stretches, 2 miles with sprints on the straightaways. Then 2X800 at 7 minute pace. Then 6X200 at 45-48 seconds each! Speedwork is feeling SOOO good! | |

| Long easy run. I haven't run longer than an hour and a half since my fifty miler, and I thought I deserved a real long run! Still nice and dry and cold. We are still at the cabin and I am sleeping soooo much! Can't believe it, but it feels great.

| Downhill skiing in the morning! Crazy wet and windy! After we got thoroughly soaked, we headed back down the mountain to the cabin. While the sauna was getting hot, I ran in the woods. | |

| No skiing today, so I did a 200m hill repeat workout. 7X200m on the hills at R pace, and then 4X200 on the flats also at R pace. warm up and cool down jogging, and followed it up with a nice stretching/yoga workout. Merry Christmas!

| Bike interval workout on the indoor trainer! Its been a long time since I did this - probably too long. I did a wu, some 30 second bursts, then 4X5 minute intervals at a "hard" effort. then a cool down. Then some more cool down because the movie I was watching was not quite over! Followed it up with some yoga and abs.

| Downhill skiing in the morning, just because we had a little fresh snow. We get incredibly heavy, wet powder often, and this was definitely heavy and wet! It was fun for about three hours, then I quit and put on the skate ski gear for an hour and a half. I worked especially hard on uphill technique, so it turned into more of a workout than I intended. |

| Track workout tonight! It was raining sideways and raining hard, but not too cold. The workout was 5X800 at 7:00 minute/mile pace, followed by 4X200 at .46 per 200. I am usually really terrible at pacing, and have had very little practice lately with the 5K pacing (7/mile), so I was beyond happy at my pacing tonight! The 800s came out at 3:29, 3:31, 3:30, 3:31, and 3:34. I must have been rather tired on the last one! The 200s were .46, .46, .45, and .44. All very acceptable. My tendency is to run 200s way too fast, but I think it helps to kind of tire myself out with the 800s first. | |
